Video: Teju Cole on Coming to America

In this week’s New Yorker, the Journeys Issue, Teju Cole writes about coming to America. Here Cole takes in the skyline from the roof of his apartment building in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, and reflects on his American citizenship and Nigerian upbringing.

The New Yorker offers a signature blend of news, culture, and the arts. It has been published since February 21, 1925.
